Storing the stem cells from umbilical cord and placental tissue represents an act of love toward your baby. These cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, offering an unparalleled opportunity in the field of medicine.
They can be used to treat more than 80 different serious diseases, including diseases of the blood and immune system. Choosing to store cord blood stem cells, can make a difference in your child’s life, ensuring they have a valuable resource to meet any future challenges.
Collecting stem cells from the umbilical cord is a simple, safe procedure that takes place immediately after birth.
It is completely painless for both mother and baby, as the cord is collected only after it has been clamped and cut.
There is no interference with the delivery process, and no additional effort is required from you or your medical team.
In just a few minutes, a unique biological resource that would otherwise be discarded can be safely preserved.
These cells may offer future therapeutic possibilities for your child and potentially for close family members, thanks to their natural compatibility.
